Dension text display question
Hello,
I have the opportunity to purchase a Dension 500S for a very low price from a friend who is selling his E60. I've been doing a lot of research to determine whether it will display track information in my car, but am still not sure.
My car has the non-MP3-capable M-ASK and does not display CD Text information from CDs I play in the drive. However, my understanding is these are limitations of the CD drive itself, not the M-ASK unit as a whole. If I'm correct, I should be able to code the +IPOD option and have a text display from the Dension. I can do my own coding - this is not a problem.
Can anyone please validate this? If I can't have text display, I won't bother since I can just use my AUX input instead.
Thanks

Is this only with the Dension, or even the standard CD player (assuming the CD has CD Text)? So you're saying I click on where it says "Track 1", "Track 2", etc. and then a menu will pop up? Wouldn't this just make the player skip to that track? I will try this, thanks.
By the way, I bought an AUX cable from you earlier this year; working fine.

Just to clarify, when I play a CD that has CD Text, it looks like the picture below (not my actual car - I don't have a CD changer). The "Set" menu only provides access to the bass and treble controls. What should I click on?
Thanks

when you click on it does it show options "get details"? should be the last option available to select. thats what makes it show the titles.
